Motivation to Create!

What can I say? I am a child grasping with the throes of growing up, maturing, whatever you want to call it. My ideas come from my childhood zeal for all things adventurous and fantastic. I have come up with my book ideas at random times but all in the spirit of my fervor for movies, comics, and books. There really is no one place I draw inspiration from. No place I go to. No well of original ideas I can dip my bucket brain into. I have had to create the place really. Sure, there are places where the wheels start turning but the great ideas I formed in no particular place.

I do draw inspiration from the structures of stories that I love to watch or read. What kind of a story should I tell? There is only a certain number of stories all of which share similar plot elements. I learned that in high school.  Pick a kind of story and then make it your own. Create a world then tell a structured story. Is it an adventure story? Is it a suspense/thriller? Is it all the above? One thing I promise myself to do is try to make my story different enough to be considered original. Blazing my own trail is paramount for me to continue my writing endeavors.

With my “original” ideas, I write my stories. I suppose I write stories thanking those who have written or created an awesome world that I enjoyed in my man and childhood whether in film, book, or theme park form. Lastly, I get my ideas and motivation from a need to stop living in other people’s imaginations and creations. A great deal of my life is spent reading other people’s words, watching other people’s movies, and playing in other people’s worlds. One day, I decided I had had enough. I needed to create my own worlds people could live in and enjoy. So, I did, and I love it here. I just hope that someday, more people can enjoy the world I have created with me.
